When Pugh was first contacted for a potentially lucrative television role, she was ecstatic. It was her first time in America, and she flew out to Hollywood to shoot a pilot for a show called Studio City.

Pugh didn't take the bait, and the pilot was never picked up. Just months later, she auditioned for Lady Macbeth, where she remembers being "applauded for having normal bum cheeks," which suggests sticking to her guns was worthwhile on both a personal and professional level.
